and your own phillips screwdriver (]_:3===_.

Note: The underside of the treadmill walking belt is coated with high-performance lubricant. During shipping, a
small amount of lubricant may be transferred to the top of the walking belt or the shipping carton. This is a normal

conditior_ and does not affect treadmill performance. If there is lubricant on top of the walking belt, simply wipe off

the lubricant with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT

THE PERFORMANT LUBE TM WALKING BELT

Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
PERFORMANT LUBE TM, a high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other

substances to the walking belt or the walking plat-
form. They will deteriorate the walking belt and

cause excessive wear,

electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. Plug the power cord into a surge

protector, and plug the surge protector into an ap-
propriate outlet that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,

and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illus-

trated in drawing 1 below. A temporary adapter that

looks like the adapter illustrated in drawing 2 may be
used to connect the surge protector to a 2-pole recep-

tacle as shown in drawing 2 if a properly grounded out-
let is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a

properly grounded outlet (drawing 1) can be installed
by a qualified electrician.

Your treadmill, like any other type of sophisticated
electronic equipment, can be seriously damaged by
sudden voltage changes in your home's power.
Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interference can re-
sult from weather conditions or from other appliances

being turned on or off.

To decrease the pos-

sibility of your tread-
mill being damaged,
always use a surge
protector (not in-

eluded) with your
treadmill.

Surge protectors are
sold at most hardware

stores and department
stores. Use only a UL-

listed surge protector,
rated at 15 amps, with a

14-gauge cord of five

feet or less in length.

This product must be
grounded. If it should

malfunction or break
down, grounding pro-

vides a path of least re-
sistance for electric cur-

rent to reduce the risk of

The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending
from the adapter must be connected to a permanent

ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.

Whenever the adapter is used it must be held in place

by a metal screw. Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box

covers are not grounded. Contact a qualified elec-
trician to determine if the outlet box cover is

grounded before using an adapter.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE

The advanced console offers an impressive selection

of features to help you get the most from your exercise.
When the console is in the manual mode, the speed

and incline of the treadmill can be changed with a touch
of a button. As you exercise, the console will provide

continuous exercise feedback. You can even measure
your heart rate using the built-in pulse sensor.

Five preset workout programs are also offered. Each
program automatically controls the speed and incline
of the treadmill to give you an effective workout. The
included hand weights can be used to add upper-body
exercise to your workouts as well. You can even create
your own custom workout programs and store them in

memory for future use.

In addition, the console offers a fitness test program

that measures your relative fitness level and a pulse-
driven program that automatically adjusts the speed

and incline of the treadmill to keep your heart rate near

a target level during your workout. Note: The fitness

test program and the pulse-driven program require the

use of an optional chest pulse sensor (see page 24).

The console also features new iFit.com interactive tech-

nology. IFit.com technology is like having a personal
trainer right in your home. Using the included audio

cable, you can connect the treadmill to your home
stereo, portable stereo, or computer and play special

iFit.com CD programs (CD's are available separately).
IFit.com CD programs automatically control the speed

and incline of the treadmill as a personal trainer guides
you through every step of your workout. High-energy
music provides added motivation. Each CD features
two programs designed by certified personal trainers.

In addition, you can connect the treadmill to your VCR
and TV and play iFit.ccm video programs (videocas-

settes are available separately). Video programs offer
the same benefits as iFit.com CD programs, but add
the excitement of working out with a class and an

instructor--the hottest new trend at health clubs.

With the treadmill connected to your computer, you
can also go to our new internet site at www.iFit.com
and access basic programs, audio programs, and
video programs directly from the internet. And by

adding an optional upgrade module to the treadmill,
you can use virtually endless features from cur internet

site. See www.iFit.com for complete details.

To purchase iFit.com CD's or videocassettes or an

optional upgrade module, call toll-free 1-800-735-0768.
See page 24 for information about other accessories
that will help you get even more from your exercise.

tings for the next twelve segments will be shown

in the twelve columns to the right.

When only three seconds remain in the first seg-

ment of the program, both the Current Segment
column and the column to the right will flash, a se-

des of tones will sound, and all speed settings will

move one column to the left. The speed setting for
the second segment will then be shown in the

flashing Current Segment column and the tread-
mill will automatically adjust to the speed and in-

cline settings for the second segment.

The program will continue in this way until the

Current Segment column and no time remains in
the Time display. The walking belt will then slow
to a stop.

Note: Each time a segment ends and the speed
settings move to the left, if all of the indicators in

the Current Segment column are lit, the speed set-
tings may move downward so that only the highest
indicators in the columns will appear in the pro-
gram display. When the speed settings move to

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES

28

The following guidelines will help you to plan your ex-
ercise program. Remember--these are general guide-
lines only. For more detailed exercise information, ob-
tain a reputable book or consult your physician.

EXERCISE INTENSITY

Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recom-

mended heart rates for fat burning and aerobic exercise.

HEART RATE TRAINING ZONES

Age 20 30 40 50 60 70 80

To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age

near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
above your age. The three numbers define your "train-

ingzone." The lower two numbers are recommended

heart rates for fat burning; the higher number is the

recommended heart rate for aerobic exercise.

To measure your heart rate during exercise, use the
pulse sensor on the console. If your heart rate is too

high or too low, adjust the speed and incline of the
treadmill.

Fat Burning

To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively

low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body

uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for en-
ergy. Only after the first few minutes does your body

begin to use stored fat calories for energy. If your goal
is to burn fat, adjust the speed and incline of the tread-

mill until your heart rate is near the lowest number in

your training zone.

For maximum fat burning, adjust the speed and incline

of the treadmill until your heart rate is near the middle
number in your training zone.

Aerobic Exercise

If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, your exercise must be "aerobic." Aerobic exercise
is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen for

prolonged periods of time. This increases the demand
on the heart to pump blood to the muscles, and on the

lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic exercise,
adjust the speed and incline of the treadmill until your
heart rate is near the highest number in your training

zone.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Each workout should include the followingthree parts:

A Warm-up--Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes

of stretching and light exercise. A proper warm-up in-
creases your body temperature, heart rate and circula-

tion in preparation for exercise.

Training Zone Exercise--After warming up, increase
the intensity of your exercise until your pulse is in your

training zone for 20 to 60 minutes. (During the first few
weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your
pulse in your training zone for longer than 20 minutes.)
Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise--never

hold your breath.

A Cool-down--Finish each workout with 5 to 10 min-
utes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the

flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-ex-
ercise problems.

Exercise Frequency

To maintain or improve your condition, complete three
workouts each week, with at least one day of rest be-
tween workouts. After a few months, you may com-
plete up to five workouts each week if desired.

The key to success is to make exercise a regular and
enjoyable part of your everyday life.

SUGGESTED STRETCHES

The correct form for several basic stretches is shown at the right. Move slowly as you stretch--never bounce.

1. Toe Touch Stretch

Stand with your knees bent slightly and slowly bend forward

from your hips. Allow your back and shoulders to relax as you

reach down toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15

counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings,

back of knees and back.

2. Hamstring Stretch

Sit wi_h one leg extended. Bring the sole o_the opposite foot
toward you and rest it against the inner thigh of your extended
leg. Reach toward your toes as far as possible. Hold for 15
counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches:
Hamstrings, lower back and groin.

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

With one leg in front of the other, reach forward and place your
hands against a wall. Keep your back leg straight and your
back foot flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and
move your hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.
Repeat 3 times for each leg. To cause further stretching of the
achilles tendons, bend your back leg as well. Stretches:

Calves, achilles tendons and ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch

With one hand against a wall for balance, reach back and
grasp one foot with your other hand. Bring your heel as close
to your buttocks as possible. Hold for 15 counts, then relax.

Repeat 3 times for each leg. Stretches: Quadriceps and hip

muscles.

5. Inner Thigh Stretch

Sit with the soles of your feet together and your knees outward.
Pull your feet toward your groin area as far as possible. Hold
for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches:
